Flashing for Cash?

I’ve joked about it countless times. Whenever I look at a bill too long I start to wonder, “If only I lost my self-respect and found a pole in its place.” Then I think to myself that stripping isn’t the way – hard work is. But isn’t doing a handstand in a G-string to collect enough singles to pay the rent hard work? One wrong move and you’ll get a concussion. The worst I can get from one misstep on my keyboard is carpal tunnel.

Times are hard, jobs are scarce and people want distractions – preferably those of a certain entertaining nature. Maybe that’s why so many people are no longer joking about the prospects of stripping; they’re going for it.

For the record, I would have no problem walking into a bank with that many singles.

Employers across the adult entertainment industry have said they’re seeing an influx of applications from women who are opting to flash for cash to keep their gas on. And apparently these are people with college degrees who used to work white-collar jobs until the economy dropped lower than a stripper making $2,000 a night.

As tempting as stripping sounds, there’s never a sure thing when it comes to “easy money.” You never know if the person paying for a lap dance at night works during the day in HR at a company you're trying to work for.
